When you have a stain on your seersucker clothing, you don’t want to let it dry before you clean it. This is why knowing how to clean foundation off your seersucker is important. Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to remove foundation stains from seersucker.
Using Ammonia Solution
Ammonia is a powerful cleaning agent for removing foundation stains from seersucker fabric. To use this method, mix a teaspoon of ammonia with a cup of warm water and pour the solution over stained area. Gently scrub the stained area with an old toothbrush until the stain disappears. Rinse area thoroughly with cold water and repeat the process until the stain is removed.
Using Dry Cleaning Fluid
If the ammonia solution does not completely remove the foundation stain, you can try using dry cleaning fluid. This method should be used as a last resort and only after testing a small area of the fabric to make sure it won’t cause any damage. To use this method, pour a small amount of dry cleaning fluid onto a cloth and dab it onto the stained area. Rub the cloth in a circular motion until the stain fades away. Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry.
Preventing Future Stains
To avoid future foundation stains, make sure you apply your makeup carefully and always be sure to use a primer and set your makeup with a setting spray before heading out. You should also avoid putting your seersucker clothes in dryer, as this can cause the foundation stains to set. Instead, hang them up to dry and use a garment steamer if you need to reduce wrinkles.
